A couple of years ago, I picked up No Man's Sky on Gryphon's recommendation, and have had fun with it.

Late last night, I checked the release notes, and they are re-running several of the Expeditions, two weeks each.

The first one is Beachhead, which ends with players getting the SSV Normandy SR1 as your ship. Very nice, since I missed it the first time around

Oh cool. Hopefully I'll be able to pick up some that I missed, once my new machine gets here.

(There has been a great odyssey of weirdness with my gaming system for the last few months. The new system arriving this week, UPS willing, is hopefully its endpoint. Maybe I'll rant about that somewhere else later.)

Just to note, the expedition prize Normandy joins your fleet if you have a Freighter, at which point you can send it on missions and stuff. You never get to go aboard, she's just there in the formation when she's not out on assignment. I was slightly disappointed to learn that, so I thought I should make sure expectations were set accordingly, if anybody here didn't already know that. Still super cool, but you don't get to tool around the galaxy in her with Shepard and the gang. :)

FWIW, if anybody is still playing Destiny 2 aside from me, the N7 Alliance Pack (the EDI Ghost Shell, the M7 Mako Sparrow, and Normandy SV2 Jumpship) is free this weekend. The Mass Effect armor ornament sets (liara warlock, Shepard Titan, Garrus Hunter) probably still cost Silver, though. (Which doesn’t matter to me because I bought them when they first came out because my Titan Arisa (Shepard) wore them for a while).

I think I do have it installed still after I checked it out when Edge of Fate came out (And found most of last years content once again deleted and the interface even messier than ever, dammit Bungle...)

A Mako-fied Sparrow makes too much dang sense...

Just got the game set up on my new laptop, and... most of my saves are missing. They don't seem to be in the Steam Cloud. I do have both of the drives from the system that died, since they were swapped out and returned to me in the first of the manufacturer's failed attempts to repair it, but I have no idea where on them local save files might be. I guess I'll have to get them into enclosures and start hunting.

Steam says I've got more than 900 hours in this game, and one of the lost saves accounted for at least a quarter of that. Starting over isn't the worst thing in the world, but I've got a lot of stuff I really like on that one... :(

Looks like it's

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\HelloGames\NMS\

and *probably* 'DefaultUser', but might be else.

Yep, that's the ticket. I had looked this up online just minutes before you posted, but thanks. :)

I found them!

I'm amazed that worked. Luckily, just copying the contents of the appropriate folder from my old c: in an enclosure to the same place on the new one worked seamlessly. The good ship Baychimo, phantom freighter of the Eissentam Galaxy, flies once more.

I forgot I went through a phase where I ended most of my base names with "State Park". :)
